Surprising Disproportion Uetwcen Thiwe of the American Army and the Insurgents. WASHINGTON, April 1 General Otis has cabled to the war department, probably with a view of correcting er roneous Impressions that exist In this country as to the state of the Insur rection in the Philippines, a sum miry of the rise of development of the campnlKn since the first of the calendar yutr. Ills (ltsurcg go far to onsc;ilti)f the belief that cxlsls In mo quarter (hut :ltue the addition of guerrilla methods of warfare, the In surgents have indicted more substan tial om upon the American armies In comparison with the punishment which they have themselves received. A significant wntence In the report diiferntiutvs Insurgents and ladronea, showing thl ttts has taken coKnluiiice of the fact that a lontldcruble nuin-b-r of hostiles are not soldiers under the rules of war and mny not expect same treatment. The report, which Is dated Manila. April 3, In its follows: "Since January 1st Vi skirmishes in the Philippines have been reported, mostly light affairs.

Question of Promotions In the Navy Again Considered by the Ad ministration. NEW YORK, April 3. A dispatch to the Hrald from Washington says: Acting Secretary Allen has asked the attorney-general to furnish the navy department . with a copy of his opin ion in the case of Captain B. H. Mc Calla, In which the attorney-general docified that Captain McCalla had been advanced and promoted by the action of the senate in confirming the nomi nation of Lieutenant Commander Pills bury, "vice McCalla advanced and pro moted." There have been reports that pre cedents thus established would result IMPROVING PEARL HARBOR. Naval Authorities Ask to Have It Made Available Without Delay. NEW YORK, April 3. A special to Tribune from Washington says: The naval authorities want Pearl Harbor, which they regard as the most important post of the United States in the Pacific, made available for naval purposes without further delay and an appeal will be made to congress in a few days to authorize the necessary improvements. The board which has been studying plans for the harbor has completed its work and recommends the purchase of certain lands Inside the harbor for a naval repair plant dockyard and store house as well as sites for the erection of defensive works. They favor the Immediate expenditure of $5)0,i)00, which will make the harbor accessible and provide all the land required for further improvements Pearl Harbor Is the only !arbor worthy of the nams in the Hawa ian group, the o-.her landing places, includ ing that at Honolulu, being utterly In defensible against an enemy. ; For military purposes the Hawaiian group is regarded as a menace to the United States In time of war until Pearl Harbor can be entered and used as a rendezvous for war vessels. NOT RELIEVED AT WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, April 3.-The war department officials do not believe the story that comes from South Africa to the effect that Captain Carl Ketch mann. Seventeenth Infantry, was one of the leaders of the Boers at the last fight between the Boers and the Eng lish at the Bloemfonteln water-works. PRIZE-FIGHTING TRUST. Managers In 'Frisco Combine to Pre vent "Ruinous" Competition. SAN FRANCIS'X). April J.-The m&nafier of the leading athletic clubs which promot? prizefighting In this city have formed a combination to pre vent ruinous competition. hTey declare, however, that th-'y have not organized a slugging trust. In view ot the fact the ring contests are to be prohibited In New York they think that many pugilists of reputation will soon come to this coast. The main points Inau gurated by the managers for self pro tection are: First Not to bid against each other for fights; second to reduce the size of purses, and third, in case of a palpable fake to declare the bout "no contest," and devote the amount to some de serving charity. Boxers, managers or seconds con cerned In any fake will be blacklisted ; and their names sent to every club In America. . , . "-rr'----":--- !--r' -If))) Mlsa DAPE HTKiiKM.V.V. OK CIUC.VJO.

I think a great deal of Pe-ru-ni often recom mend It to my friends, and am glad to lay all who hare tried it speak a good word for It." Mrs. Emily 8. Carson, Austerllti, Mich., says: Dr. S. B. Hartman Dear Sir: I had been troubled with dyspepsia and indi gestion for many years, and was very much reduced in flesh. I could not oat snyth'.ng with out the greatest distress after ward. My food would come up and my stom ach beoame very weak from fasting, as I preferred to go without food rather than suf fer the conso- qnenoes. I could get no rest by day nor sleep by night. I tried every roraedy adrertised for the cure of dyspepsia without the least benefit. At last I got a bottle of Pe-ru-na. I confosa I bad no faith in it, as I had been to often disap pointed; but in a day or so I felt much Improved. Food did not distren me as before, I continued ita nie, and, after aslng a dozen bottles, I was a well Woman.

For fWe years the best doctor had pronounced me inour able. I suffered with a complica tion of disease palpitation of the heart, nervoiunrns, weakness and dys pepsla.

I give your medicine to my children for the various little ail ment which annoy little one, and the result U that they are neror alok, ul always strong and healthy, I have gained forty pound tlnoa taking Pe-ru-na." So many people hare what ia called dyspepsia w ithout having the slightest suspicion that catarrh of the stomach i the cause. Such people take pepsin and a thousand other things, vainly hoping to get well. But the catarrh remains, and of course the dyspepsia remulns.

Few realize what a deep-seated, obstinate disease Catarrh is, regarding it as a simple inflammation of the nose and throat, little or no attention is given it. But, however insignificant it may seem at first, it is serious and far-reaching in its results. The foul secretions entering- the circulation poison the entire system. The stomach, kidneys in fact all the organs feel the effect of this catarrhal poison, and when the lungs are reached its progress r 'CJry' -f It frequently happens that the senses of hearing and smell are in part or entirely lost, the soft bones of rj me nose eaten who anu aesiroyea, causing intense Bunenng ami grcaiiy uisngunng ine ikcc. wuirepi", VvJ)lJ washes and salves may give temporary relief, no permanent benefit can be expected from such treatment. CATARRH IS A CONSTITUTIONAL OR BLOOD DISEASE, and far beyond the reach of mere local remedies. Those who rely upon them for a cure lose valuable time, meet with disap pointment and allow the disease to take firmer hold. Only a real blood remedy can reach this troublesome and dangerous disease. 8. S. S cures Catarrh because it first cleanses and builds up the blood, purifies it, makes it rich and healthy, stimulates and put new life into the sluggish worn-out organs, and thus relieves the system of all poisonous accumulations. Mrs. Joiephine Polhlll, of t)ue Wert, S. C, writes ; "I had Catarrh, which became o deep seated that I u entirely deaf in one ear, and all intlde of my note, including part of the bone, sloughed off.
